complex analysis - Convergence of series and summation methods for divergent series

I would like to know what is the sum of this series:




$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{1-(-1)^\frac{n}{k}}$$ with $$ n=1, 2, 3, ...$$



In case the previous series is not convergent, I would like to know which are the conditions that would have been required in order for it to be convergent. I can understand that there could be a set of values of $n$ for which the series is not convergent, but this does not directly prove that there are no values of $n$ for which, instead, it is.
In case the previous series is not convergent in the “classical” sense, I would like to know if it can be associated to it a sum, employing those summation methods used to assign a value to a divergent series; like, for example, the Ramanujan summation method which associates to the following well known divergent series



$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty k $$



the value $ -\frac{1}{12} $.

Note that, in general, the argument of the sum considered can assume complex values!
